Steps to replace a Link via .NET SDK

Aspose.PDF Cloud developers can easily load & change link annotation in PDF in just a few lines of code.

  1. Create a new Configuration object with your Application Secret and Key
  2. Create an object to connect to the Cloud API
  3. Upload your document file
  4. Set desired property using PutLinkAnnotationAsync function
  5. Checks the response and logs the result
  6. Downloads the updated file for local use
 

This sample code shows replacing a Link annotation in PDF documents


    public static async Task LinksReplace()
    {
		const string localPdfDocument = @"C:\Samples\sample.pdf";
		const string storageFileName = "sample.pdf";
		const string localFolder = @"C:\Samples";
		const string resultFileName = "output_add_link.pdf";
		const string storageTempFolder = "YourTempFolder";
		const string linkId = "GE5UYYLVNZRWQQLDORUW63R3HA4CYNRZGQWDCMZQFQ3TAOI";
		const string newLinkAction = "https://reference.aspose.cloud/pdf/";
		
		// Get your AppSid and AppSecret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud (free registration required). 
		var pdfApi = new PdfApi(AppSecret, AppSid);
		
		using var file = File.OpenRead(localPdfDocument);
		await pdfApi.UploadFileAsync(Path.Combine(storageTempFolder, storageFileName), file);
		
		LinkAnnotation newLink = new LinkAnnotation(
		    Links: new List<Link>() { new Link(newLinkAction) },
		    ActionType: LinkActionType.GoToURIAction,
		    Action: newLinkAction,
		    Highlighting: LinkHighlightingMode.Invert,
		    Color: new Color(A: 0xFF, R: 0xAA, G: 0x00, B: 0x00),
		    Rect: new Rectangle(LLX: 238, LLY: 488.622, URX: 305, URY: 498.588)
		);
		
		LinkAnnotationResponse getResponse = await pdfApi.PutLinkAnnotationAsync(storageFileName, linkId, newLink, folder: storageTempFolder);
		
		if (getResponse == null)
		    Console.WriteLine("LinksReplace(): Unexpected error in GetLink!");
		else if (getResponse.Code < 200 || getResponse.Code > 299)
		    Console.WriteLine("LinksReplace(): Failed to receive link from the document.");
		else  {
		    using Stream downloadStream = await pdfApi.DownloadFileAsync(Path.Combine(storageTempFolder, storageFileName));
		    using FileStream localStream = File.Create(Path.Combine(localFolder, resultFileName));
		    await downloadStream.CopyToAsync(localStream);
		    Console.WriteLine("LinksReplace(): link '{0}' successfully replaced in the document '{1}.", linkId, resultFileName);
		}
    }
